Suspects lead police on chase after breaking into Mooresville gun shop

MOORESVILLE, N.C. - Police said a short car chase ensued after a Mooresville gun shop was broken into early Friday morning.

Officials told Channel 9 that four to five people broke into Point Blank Range on Highway 150 around 2:45 a.m. and stole guns.

Someone was at the range, which is open 24 hours for elite members, and heard the security alarm. He got a description of the getaway car and told police.

Reporter Dave Faherty is asking how many guns were stolen and if there are any leads to find the burglars, at 6 p.m. on Channel 9.

“They didn’t realize somebody was here so if they knew somebody was here, I’m sure they wouldn’t have done it,” another range member David Brewster said. “Obviously, they needed money more than anything to do a crime like that.”

A chase started on Interstate 77, where the burglars threw the guns out of the car.
